End of Summer

This is it. It's here.  The end of summer.  In just three more days, my oldest will start kindergarten.  Am I ready?  Not at all.  Is she ready?  Absolutely.

So, kindergarten in San Antonio starts at 7:40 a.m.  That's ridiculously early.  My kids sleep until 7:30 every morning.  So, in order to prepare my sleeping child for an early morning school, I've been slowly getting her up earlier and earlier.  This past week, we've woke up every morning at the time we would when we have to go to school.  We've gotten completely ready to go (including dressed and breakfast eaten) and then we've walked to the school.

She has been excited for this and loves the time of just me and her up in the morning and walking to school.  And the last couple of mornings, she's said.  "momma, I'm going to miss you when I am at school, and you are going to miss me.  But, I'm going to have a lot of fun."  I am so proud of my big girl.  How is she so wise at such a young age?!

So, Monday morning, she starts kindergarten.

And, a week later, my little man starts back at preschool.  I would like to be able to say I don't know what I'm going to do with myself the two days a week that both kids will be at school, but I know better.  I'll be running errands, doing cleaning, getting stuff done.  I'll be so busy, I'll wonder where the time went each day.

So, we had a great summer.  We visited family, we traveled and explored Denver.  We went to the Children's Museum.  We went to Kiddie Park.  We went to Schlitterbahn.  We did a lot of swimming. We cuddled a lot.  And now it's over.  Good luck this year, sweetheart!  Mommy loves you and knows you are going to have so much fun!
